== Problem ==


Back to [[G5NR Data Access Guide]].
By accessing the collection <code>inst01hr_3d_T_Cv</code> via the OPeNDAP server
https://opendap.nccs.nasa.gov/dods/OSSE/G5NR/Ganymed/7km


First, we ensure that out NetCDF-4 library has been built with Fortran, HDF5 and OPeNDAP support. All three queries
we want to read the surface temperature data inside the box bound by latitudes 25<sup>o</sup>N, 50<sup>o</sup>N and longitudes -130<sup>o</sup>W, -65<sup>o</sup>W for 2006/Sep/18, 9z and compute its min/max.


== Solution ==
First, we ensure that our NetCDF-4 library has been built with Fortran and OPeNDAP support. If both the queries
  > nc-config --has-f90
  > nc-config --has-f90
> nc-config --has-hdf5
  > nc-config --has-dap
  > nc-config --has-dap


should return yes.
return "yes", we have a compatible NetCDF-4 library. Here <code>nc-config</code> is a utility bundled with NetCDF-4 package.


== Read downloaded nc4 file ==
The metadata for the collection <code>inst01hr_3d_T_Cv</code> is available at
https://opendap.nccs.nasa.gov/dods/OSSE/G5NR/Ganymed/7km/0.5000_deg/inst/inst01hr_3d_T_Cv.info


Download the collection inst01hr_3d_T_Cv for 2006-Sep-18/0900z as described [[G5NR Data Access Guide#ftp (global data)|here]]. The downloaded file is <code>c1440_NR.inst01hr_3d_T_Cv.20060918_0900z.nc4</code>. The program to read this file is
==== Code ====
This code accesses the collection <code>inst01hr_3d_T_Cv</code> from the OPeNDAP server, reads a subset of the temperature data (all levels inside the bounding box specified above) and computes its max/min.


==== Code ====
NOTE:
# Instead of reading a downloaded NetCDF-4 file, we read an OPeNDAP URL.
# While in the downloaded file, the temperature variable appears in the uppercase (T), on the OPeNDAP server, this variable is in lowercase. This is reflected in the call to <code>nf90_inq_varid</code>.
# Via the OPeNDAP URL, we now have access to all times for which data exists. The hourly <code>inst</code> files are available starting at 2005/15/15, 2200z. Our desired time, 2006/09/18, 0900z is then the 11772<sup>th</sup> step.
